Hi,
We have customized solution of HR & Payroll and overlayred code in different models of AX 2012. We have also run code upgrade service on LCS and then connected dev environment with Azure DevOps VSTS. Now there are 900+ task that needs to be resolved in Azure DevOps. I also have read some blogs and articles with says that I need to convert all my overlayered code into extensions as it is only solution now in AX version 10.0.8. Am I going in right direction ? Is there any other way without converting to extension ? How long it will take to upgrade code ?
Any help will be much appreciated Thanks
Hi Abdullah,
There is no way to finish upgrade process without converting customizations to extensions. How much it will take? It depends on the complexity and how deep your code injected into standard objects. The main issue that you need a new way to find how to implement the same changes in the extension world and sometimes it's even not possible to do in the same way and you may need to re-design the solution completely.
Before you will start doing any actions related to the upgrade, you need to analyze new D365 features, capabilities, and deprecated functionality and decide if you can leave some customizations (don't upgrade for them) and use new features or change the business processes.
In addition, if you try to move all to extensions and you are stuck on e.g. a method where you need to hook in in the middle of the method, or has a valid reason why an enum should be extensible, you can request for an extensibility request. When (and if) it will be acknowledged can take some lead time as well.
Thanks Sergei, Now I am sure that I have to convert customization into extensions.
But I need to know from someone experiance that How much time will be required. As I have seen Migration report summary that was generated when I run code upgrde service on LCS. From this report I see that there are approx 1000 elements (tables, forms, classes etc) contaning error and needs to be resolved. So my estimate by looking at report was 12 - 16 weeks. Am I right ?
Hi Adbullah,
It completely depends on what kind of customizations you have done before.
For example migration fields to extensions are quite fast process, but if you have implemented changes in postings it could be a very tricky case and you could spend a week just to find a way how to properly make extensions. And as André mentioned, you may need more extensions points from MS side and it will take some time to approve and implement them as well.
Thank sergei. I got it.
